    Back Ribs Internal Temps

    I tend to get cooking time fluctuation lately with ribs due to outside temps, other factors so rather than wrapping, unwrapping and final cooking for a static time(2-1-1, 2-2-1,etc), is there any general TEMPERATURE guideline for when to wrap ribs, when you upwrap them and final internal temp?

    AMNPS Oopsie

    So... First time using the maze AMNPS and I think that I either placed it incorrectly or lit it incorrectly. Pretty sure when I lit it, I may have caught the second row of the maze but not sure. ALSO when I placed it in the MES40, I put it right next to the heating element... Also bad idea...

    Temp Troubles

    I just got a digital MES40 and seem to be having some inconsistencies with temperature, wanted to run it through here and see if people had any clarification/thoughts. Other than the control panel outside the unit, I have all of the probes and following thermometers sitting on the middle rack...

    New to electric, need input on smoker

    Hey all, long time lurker here. I already smoke with an offset no problem but debating going electric because simply put... I don't want to be babying a smoker for 12 hours or more with a brisket for example. Now I've been reading a lot of stuff about the MES smokers and was considering getting...
